Front Leg Brace with Metal Inserts

My rescue dog had surgery on her front joint below her hock because before we got her, she had broken or somehow injured her leg. It was never taken care of and her growth plates were damaged, she limped, and her ligament stretched (like a basset hound's would, where her wrist is almost touching the ground). When we first adopted her, we took her to UC Davis for an evaluation, which ended up costing us $1000 for a brace (molded specifically for my dog) on top of the PT visits. That brace was great, but only lasted a year and then broke. We wanted a new brace, but they redesigned it so that it wouldn't break after a year. The new design was crappola. It hurt my dog's leg, left it raw, on and on. But they washed their hands of us. We contacted UC Davis to see if we could find another brace-maker, but they too washed their hands of us with a departing email that "not all dogs can be helped." For the last 8 years my dog has had a neoprene brace that velcroes on, which does almost nothing. I was hesitant to buy another brace, but this one seems to do a good job. It's better than the neoprene-only brace for sure. It seems to provide more support, and there are two, so if one poops out, I have a spare :) I am pleased with this brace, and I would recommend to try it if your dog has ligament or joint issues in their front leg(s). I think the metal band inside the brace really does make a difference!

I ordered this product because my dog drags his front paws to the point where one of his nails is worn down to the quick. I think it’s partially due to his bowed legs, so these braces will straighten them out and force him to pick up his feet. I rate this product a 4 stars because I think the idea is great, however, I think the sizing could be improved. I ordered a S/M but I thought they were a little bit too big so I returned them and ordered a XXS/XS and those were a little bit too small. So then I ordered a S/M again and now I’m trying to figure out which ones to keep or if I should keep them at all. If there was a size in between they would be great but if they don’t fit perfectly, they are of no use. There’s too much of a difference in between the two sizes. I would still give it a try and see if the sizing works for your dog as I think they can be very beneficial.

I have a Shepherd/husky that has extremely weak pasterns and I frequently worry about him injuring himself because he LOVES to run. He can run for miles on end without tiring so we bike frequently. I love that these are firm but flexible enough for his legs to still flex on their own but firm enough that his pasterns dont almost touch the ground. He trots like a Tennessee Walker with them on so it's going to take some time to get him use to them. They didn't slide down in the 30 min that he wore them around the house. The only thing that bothers me is that it presses his pastern pad into his leg. I'll update later after we take them on a bike run. Edit to add 11 April 2025 After several bike rides and some field runs I'm happy with how they work, now that I've figured out how they go on exactly. I think the first 2 times I put them on backwards, which may be why he was walking like a high-stepper. The fit is a little big, which I find surprizing since I think I ordered the M/L, I think I might have recieved the L/XL. I do have to be careful not to put them on too tight because of his pastern pad, it will cut off circulation and he starts to limp because it starts to go numb and tingly I assume. They do well for short distance rides. I'd say they're like walmart brand quality braces, ok but not fantastic.

Our senior girl has been having some mobility and stability issues due to nagging arthritis, random weakness and age. These braces sit just between her carpal pad and her elbow on each front leg and seem to provide her with a great amount of support, comfort and confidence. We have only had these a few days, but they really seem to be helping her get around much better. The velcro is a little strong, as others have mentioned, but I am finding that it helps the product stay in place with little to no adjustments needed throughout the day. I would definitely recommend these braces for pups having similar issues!

The brace fit perfectly (xl for 120 pound dog). It really helped to keep his injured leg stable. As instructed, I used the brace on both legs.

I have to use this for my kitty in the mean time while I hopefully receive a better quality brace. The size was a good fit but this slips too easily from his paw & the “metal” pieces are not strong enough. They are super flimsy. For the price, they are not worth it but kitty will have to use it for now.

We bought this for a dog with a broken, partially healed foster pup. It does provide a little support, but the emphasis there is on "little". The supposed metal spring braces provide zero rigidity and might as well not even be there. If you're looking for an ace bandage, these aren't bad. If you're looking for something more like a splint, keep looking.

Our dog is 6 and has been battling an ankle sprain for several months. We purchased these for extra support and so far really pleased. She went almost 5 miles xc skiing with us today and the velcro never came loose in deep snow and getting soaking wet. She was sprinting down a hill and one slipped off, but I didn't put it on good enough. She didn't want to walk forward when we tried them on in the house, but putting them on at the trailhead, she didn't mind them at all. Quality of these remind me of the sport boots I have for my horse. The neoprene is thin, but the metal brace springs seems to off good, yet flexible support so they can move good in them. Plan to wear these on all our longer adventures to keep her active as long as we can.

Comfortable and supportive

Our 11 year old husky has carpal hypertension of both front paws, these offer good support when we take him for walks plus unlike other more expensive options they are easy to put on/take off

I got these NeoAlly Dog Front Leg Braces to help support my 13 y/o Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, but they didn’t quite live up to my expectations. While they probably offer some level of support, the fit was a bit of a challenge—my dog’s paws are XL, and these braces struggled to keep up. They felt snug but not entirely secure for a dog of her size and weight -60 kg. Also, for what they are, the price feels a bit steep. I’d expect something a little more robust or size-customized for the cost. They might work better for smaller breeds, but for a large dog like mine, they’re just okay.
